Absolutely Wonderful And So Easy!! The hardest part was measuring out the ingredients (lol). My son is a BIG Baked Ziti fan – and quick to express his displeasure if it’s bad. He DEVOURED it! I made it healthier with reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat sour cream – still used regular mozzarella though!! This is definitely a keeper and I cannot wait to make it for company.

I made this recipe last night, it is wonderful. I added 1 pound of Johnsonville Sweet Italian Sausage to the dish.
